Painted my very first SC. I tried to use Duncan' tutorial on the Emperor's sword to get a flaminf sword and it turned out like shit so went back to dark metal. Kinda tempted to try and make the next sword volcanic like the base and shield, but I fear it'll end up looking like a club.

C&C always welcome, but do note that I know I missed highlights on the armour.

>>52192698
I would recommend staying away from pure white if you are just starting to paint.

white is very hard to paint, especially on dark models, its tempting, but usually does not work

go with grey instead.

Just finished my reaver jetbikes squad(s) for the Inner Circle.

Thoughts?

>>52192751
decent, but the yellow seems thin

Im sure you applied like 10 trillion coats of yellow, but the real trick is to start with a darker yellow and work up to a lighter yellow, it reduces the ammount of coats ten fold.

>>52192783
I started with 2 layers of averland sunset, then another 2 layers of yriel yellow

>>52192745
I-I did use grey. Standard Celestra grey and Ulthuan grey, but I kinda fucked ut on the belt with a bad wash. And it's not my first model either.
Oh well, at least I know I can get better.

Crazy Whale-stormbird guy here. That project's been stopped dead by £80 shipping on a £70 model, so Fuck That Shit, but I've had yet another idea.
Trying to figure out whether the Manta or the Stormbird would be a simpler thing to build, since I think the Manta would lack all the fancy doors and interiors on the real one, being a cross between a Manta, an airship and the Avengers Helicarrier. Idea is something like an Admech Guns of Icarus Mobula (pic related). Ideas, guys?
Also, any Imperial gun that has similar stats to the S5 AP5 6 shot guns, since it's got SIXTEEN of them mounted.

These models are so big you don't have to be that exact with size, it's not like anyone's going to struggle to draw line of sight to a flying TITAN.

I still haven't worked out a secondary colour for my Genetor Mechanicum. Using Duncan's SoS armour bronze plus Nikhilakh oxide for metal, what works with that and looks mad sciencey?

Are there any CSM units/lists that make you sigh and label the opponent "that guy", or are CSM too weak for that?

Just got underway with painting some test minis to experiment with highlighting and get my eye in again, and it's dawned that it's going to be a bitch to gauge my thinning from painting Dark Angels Green over black spray.

Maybe I'll build another test marine and do him in Angels of Absolution livery where I can tell if I've overdiluted before I do the second coat.

>>52194313
dark angels green goes pretty good over black, it best goes over dark grey

>>52194614

Really depends on the level of conversion there, bub. If you get rid of most of the third Legion markings and some of the extra Aquila, it should be doable. Some lore autists might get miffed though, but that's the price to pay for any conversion work.

>In a similar vein any goof alternatives kr conversions to the dreadknight?
I don't know of ANY third party kitz for it, but I've seen many a man cover up the "pilot" and/or replace it with a sarcophagus ala a dreadnought.and fluffing it like a psuedo-Contemptor, pic related. Other than that, you could try green stuffing over the pilot and making it look just like a massive Grey Knight (that is to say a massive Grey Knight without a smaller Grey Knight piloting him).

Probably because they're supposed to be CHAOS spess muhrines anon, and in that regard, they look pretty damn close to the new Kharn. Lack of backpacks aside, I can see a Berserker re-release looking pretty damn similar to the lad rocking the topknot in the back row's right side.

Nah, no airbrush. I'll probably get one for vehicles at some point in the future.

It's covering well enough, but the tonal variation is too subtle to give a really clear indication of how the dilution is working. One of the objectives with these test pieces is to refresh my grip on how paints handle rather than just get a solid paint job, so something with a starker contrast like zandri dust followed by ushabti bone over black might be useful practice.

It's not helped by the mediocre lighting in my house to be honest. Got a studio bulb in the post which should help.

>What exactly is wrong with brush priming?

Nothing is wrong with it. I use Vallejo Surface Primer Black and it goes on super smooth and leaves no brush marks. Also I can control how much I put on so there's no loss of detail like with spray priming.

>>52196051
>Its pleb tier

Not if you use multiple thin coats.

>>52193357

That might be the only good thing to come from this, I don't know if I can justify paying £35 for a 2mm tall owl with a drill for a beak though.

>>52195644

Yup same here, mostly with yellow. Fuck i hate yellow

>>52196175
What a pleb, I bet you don't use the single strand brush, that allows you to perfectly lay single molecules of paint onto the model, making sure you do not obscure any details. You just need to do a couple thousand layers and you get a perfect model in just under a year.

Yes, that's why my spraying does not obscure details and at the same time, I get shit done in reasonable time.

It's been a long time since I sat down to do some modelling, and there's only one thing I really was hoping for others' insight on.

When drilling out the barrels of bolters and other guns that have a muzzle brake (those holes on the side of a Boltgun), do you find it easier to drill down the length of the barrel first, or through the side?

nothing is wrong with it inherently, it just takes a lot longer compared to airbrush primer (like doing basecoat with airbrush vs not)

It's either too thin or too thick for me. I regularly paint white models and even they're less annoying to paint than yellows. Painting Space Wolves pads with Averland Sunset is a chore, it just doesn't work on flat, smooth surfaces.

Brand new to painting models and just bought a couple ork sets (starter and kans) what are some essentail tools i should get and were do you suggest getting them (im in the usa if that helps) also should I stick to citidel paints and should I maybe invest in an airbrush? Ive been watching videos and reading books but I havent actually seen much yet on the actual materials usually.

>>52197852
Airbrush is way too much for now.

Get some mid range brushes like Citadel or Army painter. Use Citadel paints since most of the tutorials are in them.

Tool wise get a knife you're comfortable with, a pair of clippers and some way to sand (paper or a file).

Don't try to run before you can walk. Learn the basics.

>>52197912
Sounds like holding out on an airbrush is a good idea which I rather prefer going in completely new, What do you mean by mid range brushes though cause i don't know anything really I mean im considering getting the brush pack from games workshops site and maybe the mouldline tool thing. Any specifics on the knife or clippers cause currently ive got nothing and im open to suggestions. Even as far as sanding stuff down I actually haven't got a clue what you mean I dont think ive seen anyone doing that in any of the vids ive seen so far but honestly from the last couples months of just lurking and reading I feel like I really do trust you guys on this sorta thing. Like Ive said ive been watching videos and reading a lot but im not really sure if any of those are actually suited for someone completely new to the hobby

Thinking of painting some old models that have a bit of dust on them. What's the best way to clean the dust off before painting? Could one submerge plastic models in water?

Hey guys, gonna be working on my Stormraven Gunship soon cause it's been in my backlog for months. Going with a Death Company theme seeing as that's what it's gonna transport the most in my matches. Not gonna layer brush it cause it seems like too much of a pain in the ass but do want to make it look beyond table top quality. If I was to go with Dry-brushing, what nice colour combos would be good to go on it, using the GW dry brush pots of course. Almost tempted to go with a light blue then some white on the corners. Or should I just stick with the grays?

Holy fuck magnets are so fun and so fucking satisfying. I started magnetizing for the first time, and the SNAP of the gun fitting into place makes me giddy.

Not sure how much y'all like non-painting wip's but I figured I'd post.

I bought a chaplain, and while he is a cool model, he doesn't have a jump pack or power fist.

So I decided to cut up and magnify the chaplain from B@C. I made it to where the jump pack attaches on his back, and the power fist or pistol attach to his arm

Any suggestions on brushes then cause I had heard a lot of good things about vellejo and they sell some colors here locally

>>52200280
Does anyone have any recommendations on what color scheme to use to paint this?

Of course, black and IF yellow but should I make the armor and the cape black?

Or should the cape be an off color, red or blue perhaps

>>52200450
Have you decided the color and painted anyon else for your army yet? If you're doing Ifists then year you should use black for the cape but do the armor yellow. The best way to find a good highlight color is to flip the color wheel and go one over, like I use a blue to contrast my cool pink Slaanesh marines and you should use a hot pink or blue for yours. Even then you should only due that to small details like wires, Id keep the cloak black or gray.

>>52200257
Look at the wings where it's nothing but wash slapped all over it and tell me again he can paint. Basic bitch painting is not talent.

alright, so thanks to this bullshit weather I have no time to prime a shitton of models before a tournament.

I heard it's customary for chaplains to have black armor. I looked at this on forgeworld and I like everything but the cape, just feels like the wrong color.

>>52200538
That's literally the wort idea, the paint wont settle properly if you don't prime, normal paint doesn't just go on plastic and doesn't stick. Primer has a special composition to make it stick and then other paints go on top of it.

>>52195160

Great tutorial for beginners m8.

Duncan's charm (besides being likeable) is that he paints damn good models with the most basic techniques available, to showcase that anyone can do it. Hell his tutorials got me into the hobby, since I had never held a brush in my life and didn't think I could paint such crazy models. Hell there are some tutorials of his I really don't like, but I won't say he is a bad painter

>>52201565
You are arguing with a b8er dude. Look at the evidence, whenever you call out anyones painting skills there they immediately send a pic to try and back up their "expertise" on a topic.

This dude has not.

Think about it, his ego is so large that he is willing to trash one of the hobbies greatest painters but not big enough to show off his own work.

b8

>>52201290

Duncan is an excellent "basic" painter. Is there painters that are better out there, well of course there are, but is he a "bad" painter? Id say a long way from it.

Put it this way, had he been a bad painter, he wouldn't be in the videos to begin with. Is he like the guys over at painting Buddha? Hell no! But he gladly admits so, for instance when confronted why he never shows nmm he replies "Because I cant make that look good".
He knows his limits, and he knows he is here to show, not only new players, but the hobby as a whole that anyone can get a nice paint job if they put effort in to it.

Had we had the luxury of films like these when we started out, Im sure we not only would be better painters today, but also been able to enjoy playing fully painted a lot more often than we did in my youth!

So to conclude, to call Duncan trash is absurd. He is doing exactly what he´s supposed to! Painting good quality models that anyone could achieve if they put some effort in to it. He uses rigid painting techniques that has been around since the founding of this hobby, and don't expect anyone to buy an airbrush or master blending techniques in a day. And he executes these techniques pretty damn solid as well. But if you want to venture deeper in to the realms of becoming a better painter, there sure are loads of channels that can be reached with the click of a button, but the fact that these chancels exists doesn't make your statement a fact. It doesn't make Duncan less of a painter so to speak.

I like Duncan as much as the next guy but let's not get too crazy, mate.

>>52201657
>>52201755
I only ever mostly use washes just to fill in recesses like they are intended. Also use black wash over grey highlights over black just to tone them down to a nicely flowing transition.

>>52201290
Faggots like this cunt here don't know what they are talking about. So long as the end product looks good it doesn't matter how you achieved it.

The fact is some people use washes and do it poorly while others use them and do it well, at the end of the day it comes down to skill.

I have yet to play a game just for someone to grab one of my minis and hold it directly to their eye in search for an error. All of them are gonna hold it 1-2 feet from their face.

The most important things when it comes to these minis is to make it look dynamic and to have great contrast, washes help immensely for contrast but it should not be relied on entirely. Wash>Then layer>then layer again>Then keep layering until the contrast is at the max.

>>52201780
Good, good, I do the same deal. Id drybrush the gold and then silver after your wash and then move in to touch up the details. Finally you do highlighting and touching up, and then freehanding.

I freehand on every model now, because itll get the highest paint score that way.

>>52201796
Duncan is fucking miles better than my store manager, that guy has been teaching noobs and production-lining armies for so long that I doubt he can even glaze.

Dude it mini painting, stop treating a hobby like a legit art. We're using techniques to make coloring in toy soldiers look good, if I wanted to be a great painter Ill go to artschool and paint actual artwork. Most people have no desire to get beyond Duncans level, those who do are legit artists.

Only a week? Yes, of course. I have put *years* between some models and then picked them up later. If they get dusty in between, be sure to get all the dust off with a big soft brush or compressed air (I prefer the former).

>>52201903
>Wash puritans like you annoy me

Thanks for the compliment.

Sounds like you have a shitty friend though, maybe don't be friends with cunts or maybe learn how to take banter and banter back. Fact is if you have a well painted army then you have a well painted army. Point I was trying to make is that it doesn't matter how you do it, just do what's right for you. I know people that trash on airbrushing cause they think it's cheating, but at the end of the day it's a means that can produce amazing looking armies but it's also made shitty looking ones to, again, it comes down to skill.

Find what works for you, then fucking abuse it. There is no one way to make an army look great.

>>52201929
>stop treating a hobby like a legit art

This is why Tabletop Standard is a meaningful term around here. There are people in these threads who are aiming for display tier, and there are people getting their armies painted.

Also, if amateur watercolourists, digital artists and oil painters produce art, we totally do as well.

as someone who doesn't post here often, and only aspires to tabletop quality: this shit is art when it's done up to be that. until that point, though (or at least VERY close to it), it's not art. it's a hobby.

also, do you guys think that Duncan is being held back by GW or do you think he does real art on the side and posts it under an alias?

>>52201846
The problem is his models don't look good, they look like they have Earth shade splashed all over them. Look at the bottom of Archon's wings. Do you find that to be a good quality paint job?

Before I answer that. How does your own ass smell? I assume you have to air it out ever now an then for your head to be up it for that long.

It's a good quality model, is it the most amazing model ever? No. It's table top quality work, and with some of the models I have seen played I would defiantly say it is above standard work.

Correct. This is all part of the decline where people with talent are thrown in with those who don't. Everything is subjective so nothing can be good.

I want you to take a look at the pic again and look from the bottom to the top of those wings. Notice that Duncan was trying to create contrast.

Model painting is art, but you are not skilled enough to be a critique.

this thread is shit

In light of this discussion, what tiers of painting do you think there are?

For me it goes:
Tourney standard (3 colors and a wash)
Tabletop (the model is based, shaded, and highlighted. Retains quality from 12+ inches)
High tabletop(same as above but highlights are more difficult and precise, blending and other techniques displayed. Retains quality from 6-12 inches away)
Display (same as above but done to an expert level. Detail effects like glows and blends really seem to to pop. Highlights are crisp and bright without being overpowered. Base is impressive but tasteful. Retains quality from 6 inches away)

>>52202216

>>52202292
just because I didn't understand what I wasn't doing enough to not do it in a compelling way doesn't mean that it's art because someone did.

just because most people didn't think to shit in other people's mouths doesn't mean that scat porn was a good idea.

>>52202219
I agree with all of that. High table top though for me is tabletop except multiple layers that all blend in to the highest point. When I paint armies my basic troops are Table top while my elites and such I try to paint high-tier.

Display tier sounds about right. I imagine it having as very little to no washes at all cause at that point, you're gonna want your paint to be as controlled as possible.

I understand what you are trying to say, however it's fine not to like it, but if you are gonna say it's not art, consider the following.

I agree that there are numerous "artist" out there that have jumped on this bandwagon just to try and get signed and have their trash sold to millionaires who care more about the name on a painting then the work itself. However there are artist out there who do this "shit work" but are actually legit artists that have scrap books filled with fantastic work, people who spent years and years trying to perfect their skill through many means.

For me to call something art is to look at the person who created it. Are they skilled, are they experienced, is what they created meant to be art.

Are Duncan's miniatures art?

>Uh, is this normal?

Let ya in on a secret anon the only active stripping ingredient in SG is the alcohol last i looked its only got 5% that shits evaporated after the first night, its literally the WORST stripping agent but the go to answer for people too scared to use effective ones. So here we are.


The rest of simple green cleans by being a surfactant so making things slippery like soap its not meant to strip anything and it really doesnt very well.

Dont believe me read up on the ingredients, at this point I half believe its a viral campaign by SG.

Use dot 3 brake fluid or dettol or something with some power. Dont get sucked into wasting your time, money, and elbow grease pretending SG works much better than dish soap and water.

>>52202886
>dot 3 brake fluid

Don't do this. Even this retard is smart enough to notice Simple Green's stripping ingredient is alcohol but he's too stupid to tell you to just use common and inexpensive rubbing alcohol and instead use something totally inappropriate that's used to keep stainless steel brake lines clean.

That said, OEM brake lines are rubber so brake fluid is still safe enough to strip most models, but why bother with such a hazardous and dirty material.

>>52202895
You act like it cant be handled completely safely with minimal effort and eats paint quickly and plastic and resin very slowly.

>So here we are.

>>52202915

You act like it isn't not only simpler AND better to just get rubbing alcohol. People who don't maintain their own vehicle won't even have brake fluid on hand.

>>52202915
>implying it isn't even safer and less effort to use isopropyl

Yeah, here we are. You not realizing you're just as stupid as the person you were complaining about giving stupid advice. No wonder /tg/ is so stupid and full of shit.

>using something that eats resin at all

>>52202654
I don't think he put the leg armour on yet. That should bulk it out.

>>52202938
Hey im fine with rubbing alcohol, im mostly trying to inform him SG is bad for stripping.

As for break fluid you can buy a jug for 8 bucks and reuse it forever so depending on how much you strip its cheaper.

If your not comfortable using it thats fine, I can understand.

>>52202950
>Not drinking your stripping agent is hard.

Actually youre just too scared, its a commonly handled chemical.

>>52200526
>>52201345
>muh masterclass methods
Spend less time sperging on how exactly an effect is achieved and more on how the model actually looks. Fantastic bait would reply again..

For real how challenging is it to paint nurgle like that? I've been interested in the models but never took the plunge because I'm afraid of being inadequate and them looking like shit

>>52203419
It's not really, it's just lots of layers of paint. Basecoat different colours, pre-highlight pretty crudely, then lots of blended washes and glazes. I'm not a great or experienced miniature painter, this will be my first completed unit.

>>52194924
Do you not prime your models?

>>52203562
Looking good, though you can probably tone down the highlights on the thigh plates. I'd just highlight the top and vertical edges.

Also the picture's fine, but the camera's probably not the thing holding your images back (I use a junker digital camera from.. 2004? Most cellphone cameras are significantly more capable). Just get more light and things will usually work out. Preferably sunlight, or as close to it.

>>52203971
Ouh yes I see the bottle now, my bad. The mini doesn't look primed, and this is the first time I have seen someone prime and paint part of the model hefore priming all of it

>>52203983

Painting the helmet without touching the face is easier than vice versa because it is raised higher and much larger, so practice painting faces then cleaning up the skin color off the helmet.

The unit was all primed with an airbrush, i just didn't attach the icon because i wasn't sure which one i wanted to use. I've attached it now and have brush primed it because there isn't a great place to hold it otherwise and there isn't much to get in the way of painting it.

>>52192938

>25mm painted goblin green and flocked.
superb taste

>>52204293
>flocked
>not painting sand green

You merely adopted the green basing. I was born in it, molded by it.

I have a bunch of unpainted/unassembled FW 30k World Eaters, a couple of friends are trying to get me back into 40k. Would it be a total cop out to do a siege of Terra WEs army with full khorne imagery and the red/gold scheme but base it all on mkiv armour? I've seen a lot of 'heresy' armies made up of just tac marines in mkvii and it always looks slack af to me. Is it the same?

Had some models soaking in dettol for two-three days now. Will it get any easier to scrub if I leave them longer? This is going to be excruciating at the rate it's going. I wouldn't mind but it's not even my fuckup, my friend gave me some old models.

Nevertheless this is turning out to be a really effective exercise in my own painting discipline because I never want to do this ever again.

>>52204293
>>52204314
You have to buy the old style of flock with the big chunks that is kind of like sand but made of maybe cork or something, then you paint the chunks goblin green and drybrush a highlight on it.

This is the true goblin green base.

>>52204331

You should paint them however you want. A 30K WE army is almost 100% compatible with 40K, either with some counts-as or using it as vanilla marines for the non-Chaos vehicles.

The red and white WE scheme is the coolest.

>>52204340
use dettol to brush it off, then washing up liquid, then water when it's completely clean and you'll be fine now.

>>52204350
It was literally green sawdust and shit was so terrible. We are blessed to have real flock, basing materials, washes, glazes, and technical paints these days.

>>52204355
I was thinking of mixing and matching a bit with individual marines choosing whether to keep the blue, go white and red or full red like they appear in that WEs set during the Scouring.

>>52204362
It's important to remember and honor the old ways.

>>52201780

I wanted to give this mk3 head some pitch black eyes lenses, Charcharodons style, but I think the shape of the lenses make it googly as shit wbecause of the whit dot. Should I put it further back in the eyes?

Or am I imagining things? It worked out well on an mk7, but this one doesn't.

Fucking kek. Also, your paint seems incredibly thick.

>>52206369
Well shit, I make sure to thin them and not to overload my brush.rest of the mini is fine but the off-white is a tad chalky so that might be it.

>>52205995
I did

what do you clean dettol off with?

>>52206457
concentrated HCI

>>52206457
I brush the worst of the detol/old paint off with an old toothbrush then cover the whole model in fairy liquid and scrub vigorously. Once this is done I rinse everything off with water.

>>52206348

Going for tabletop standard, did I get there yet?

>>52207000
Nice minis.
Personally I'd add a tiny bit of rust around the rivets and the like. I like the finished result either way though, looks good.

Not sure if you missed the whole tabletop standard thing the last week, or if this is being capricious, but in all seriousness, yes you're there and they are fine.

Mam Bretonnian armies look so good painted up. I went to games day in 97 or something as a kid just after they were released and they had a huge display of them charging out of a massive keep into a load of lizardmen (i think). Looked absolutely incredible, such a shame.

Woodland Scenics Soft Flake Snow. Cover parts of the base in a thin layer of PVA and sprinkle the snow effect over it. When it's dry it will look like a thin layer of freshly fallen snow.

Because I have visited /tg/ on and of since almost the beginning (yes, I'm that old). And you fit the description of your typical /tg/ autistic kid. Don't get mad for calling you out though, and its not like your anything special. Let me put it this way;

>The guy always giving negative feedback on wip, but never posting pictures of his own.
>the guy that always "knows" whats best and whats op, but never actually playing the game.
>the guy who base everything on mathhammer
>the guy who cant accept any other opinion than his own, and always posts his own opinion as "facts".

This is your average /tg/ user on a bad day, so your actually pretty normal. You just went out dressed for rain on a sunny day thats all.
